Roger, an evening trial sounds like fun. So many opportunities over there.

While we're on small-bore machines, Peter A's Ariel 200 Colt, & a few 150 MZs:

Nice to hear some feedback. I sometimes wonder if anybody much is interested.

Here's some Honda 'ultralights', starting w the 1st known one which was converted by a UK Honda dealer, Mr Ives:

And here's one w a modern-ish look, but its a CT90 frame & S90 engine (out to 125cc), both available in '64 I believe

Here's some bikes from last Saturdays British Bike Bonanza Trial at Gloucester Uk as promised.
I'll try to get them in alphabetical order John but they seem to come up in the opposite order,,,,, in hindsight I gave up.
There were 97 solo's and 4 sidecar outfits competing in the closed circuit trial with 3 laps of 17 sections on a great sunny day which is unusual over here.
I will put them up a few at a time .
There's more to come

Roger, yes they do come up in reverse order. Don't worry about alphabetical order - I'm only roughly doing that so I know what I've posted.

But its easy enough to place them where you want them. One you've "added the file" (ie the pic or pics) just place the cursor where you want the pic(s) & click the mouse, then go down & click on "Place inline" for the relevant pic(s) in whatever order you want.

Look forward to seeing the rest of the pics from the Bike Bonanza, as promised.
How I'd love to get to some of the shows over there!

Here's a few Gilera's & Greeves (one being Don Smith's) & a GRM
